Digital Marketplaces & Brokerage Platforms

These businesses monetize transactions by connecting buyers and sellers rather than manufacturing the goods or owning most of the assets exchanged. Recent share-price declines in Booking, Uber, Coinbase and Robinhood create an opportunity to buy transaction platforms across travel, mobility, commerce and investing without relying on a single spending category. Booking's 8.1% and Uber's 7.4% free-cash-flow yields provide valuation anchors, while weaker consumer demand and speculative trading activity remain key risks.
